Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first -> 'Cause I thought that I'd never find that beautiful, beautiful life that shimmers that innocent light back like when we were young

Saying Katniss didn’t love Peeta is like saying Star Wars isn’t political. Katniss loved that man so much, it pains me to hear people say that she doesn’t. She was so scared when she thought he was going to die after hitting the force field. When she finds out that they weren’t able to save Peeta after escaping the arena, she goes ballistic and starts lashing out. YOU’RE TELLING ME YOU DON’T THINK SHE LOVES HIM?!?

People have this idea in their head that a woman in love is supposed to look and act a particular way. If this same behaviour was displayed by a man, everyone would be so sure he's in love

Patriarchy!

“wylan should be able to learn to read and overcome his disability” no actually the whole point is that wylan physically can’t overcome this particular disability no matter what methods people use to teach him and there’s nothing wrong with that. his dyslexia isn’t what he has to overcome, his shame surrounding it is. jan van eck’s whole character is a commentary on how trying to change a disabled child sometimes only causes stress and trauma because it implies that there is something wrong with the child for having a disability and wylan’s arc surrounds him learning that he is not inherently inferior for his illiteracy. therefore, wylan somehow being taught to read would undo his hard earned character development. in this essay i will

we've been robbed in the books but at least, they should meet in the movies. I mean, they let Inej meet Alina, so why not let Wylan meet David too?

u wanna know what bothers me? this whole “kaz brekker is emotionless” rhetoric. it really strips him of his complexity as a character - he’s a very emotional character, actually. he’s internal conflict personified. he is juxtaposition. if he didn’t have emotions, his entire vendetta and need for revenge wouldn’t exist. if he didn’t have emotions, he wouldn’t risk everything he ever built to save inej. if he didn’t have emotions, he wouldn’t have called jesper by his dead brother’s name. if he didn’t have emotions, he would not have seen himself in wylan. if he didn’t have emotions, he would not tease matthias. if he did not have emotions, he would not have a unique friendship with nina. kaz feels a lot, just all at once. he doesn’t carry himself without emotions, he hides behind a front, a lie, so that he doesn’t have to confront the things that make him so juxtaposed but that doesn’t make him emotionless. his entire internal dialogue is the fight between kaz brekker and kaz rietveld. so please, for the love of all that is wonderful, please stop calling kaz emotionless.
